Footnote error, temporary footnote silently created.

[1] Thank you, whichever steaming fsckwit(s) mandated that for the
missing dataset response in the COBOL (77?) standard.

I'm really not sure if CRARRV should be rotted or not; either way looks
plausible, given that there are too many 'R's in there, but ARV is a
standard suffix for Armoured Recovery Vehicle.

Decisions, decisions....
